Staff ReportsIn the topsy-turvy world of politics, where accountability is often as rare as a snow day in Miami, there’s a breath of fresh air blowing from the Department of Economic Growth and Enhancement (D.O.G.E.). With $36 million found in fraudulent loans, some have wondered what would happen next. Well, the answer is simple and quite refreshing: not sweeping it under the rug, but holding folks accountable. That’s the approach that small business support seems to be all about these days.
No, it isn’t magic or wishful thinking; it’s the result of some serious head-down, no-nonsense action led by people who are rolling up their sleeves for the American taxpayer. The Biden administration might have had its plans, but clearly, the focus is now on rooting out not just fraud but also waste and abuse. How? By tackling billions in wasteful spending and putting a stop to wasteful contracts. Sounds almost revolutionary, right?
And if that’s not enough to restore your faith in governance, here’s the kicker: these efforts aren’t just temporary fixes. The commitment here is to make these cuts permanent. That’s right, the big, beautiful bill is about shaving off a hefty $1.6 trillion in unnecessary spending. Imagine this kind of fiscal responsibility contrasted with the past habits of spending with abandon. If only the word “permanent” had been used more often in the phrase “government responsibility” in the past.
Meanwhile, it’s heartening to see the focus shift back to Main Street, where small businesses have been yearning for support. With President Trump in their corner, small business owners are finally feeling optimistic. They’ve long been panicked about tariffs and imports, but they’re also longing for a stable workforce and less red tape. It’s as if they’ve been stranded on a financial island, and now they’ve been thrown a lifeline.
Finally, while the D.O.G.E. is making some substantial strides, some other institutions seem to be playing musical chairs when it comes to sticking the landing. Take the WNBA, for example. Despite having a shining star like Caitlin Clark drawing in viewers and boosting ratings, the league finds itself tangled in issues better suited for cable news than a sports arena. An investigation into supposed racist chants found nothing of substance, yet the league appears to be stepping on its own toes with its ideologies. Perhaps it’s time for certain leagues to pass the ball and focus back on what they should be doing: sports, plain and simple.
In conclusion, the message is clear: accountability is back in fashion, especially for small businesses and economic growth, and that’s something every American can support, regardless of where they stand on a political spectrum.
